Chapter 70 Not Joseph's Child?

"Okay, I believe you for the time being. But if I find out what you did, and you are lying to me, you should be prepared for the consequences!" Joseph shouted.

Until Anna returned home, Joseph didn't trust Kate, but the more Anna was around, the more he could see that he was being misled. After he saw what kind of person Kate was, he did not want her to suffer. Joseph's warning to Ricky and Amy was like a fatal blow.

Amy kneeled on the ground and began sobbing. Joseph glanced at her but didn't say a word. He stepped over her to go upstairs then slammed his study door.

"What are you doing?" Anna grabbed her arms to stand up and reminded her in a low voice, "Calm down! If Joseph finds a weakness, we will all be done!"

Amy said with fear, "If Lord Joseph finds it out, we will die..."

Anna covered her mouth immediately and said with a fierce look, "How can he know it if we don't tell him?"

Then, she shifted her focus to Ricky. Though she did not say anything, Ricky understood immediately and waved his hands in a hurry, saying, "I don't know!"

"What the f**k? I did not get even with her for killing my Alan, but she slandered me now," Anna screeched, "I think she must feel guilty, so she did not tell Joseph about her pregnancy. Perhaps it was not Joseph's child at all!"

"What do you mean, Lady Anna?" Amy suddenly became very interested, "If it wasn't Lord Joseph's child, whose child was it?"

Anna glimpsed the study upstairs and whispered, "I saw Kate on a secret date with Samuel several days ago. They sat in a quiet corner; obviously, they did not want to be seen by others."

Amy was puzzled. She asked again, "But everyone knows that Lady Kate loves Lord Joseph?"

"Does Joseph love her?" Anna asked, "Not at all. You are a woman, do you like being ignored all of the time? Plus, there is the rumor that she had an affair with Samuel before. But, only they know the truth."

After listening to Anna's theory, Amy thought it could be possible, "Kate has been trying to get pregnant. She would have been happy about her pregnancy and would not keep something like that from Lord Joseph, unless…"

"Amy, Lord Joseph does not believe me now. You must persuade him not to be fooled by Kate," Anna encouraged her.

Soon after Anna left, Joseph walked back downstairs.

Amy had a lot to tell Joseph, but she knew it was not an appropriate time. She asked, "Lord Joseph, are you hungry? Do you need me to prepare something for you?"

Joseph ignored her, sat on the sofa, and took out his phone.

"Lord Joseph, if you are busy with your work, I can go to the hospital and take care of Lady Kate."

Joseph stopped and asked her seriously, "Are you sure you can take good care of her?"

"I will give you permission to go to the hospital, but there is one requirement."

"Please tell me, Lord Joseph."

"Don't tell her about the miscarriage."

"Okay," Amy nodded.

Later that evening, Amy arrived at the hospital with soup for Kate.

"Lady Kate, Joseph asked me to prepare some soup for you," Amy wanted to talk with her for a while, but Kate turned her head away.

Amy felt embarrassed and said, "I know you are still angry with me, Lady Kate. But you should take care of yourself first. Lord Joseph asked me to take good care of you, and I will do that well so that he does not punish me."

"Get out of here before I lose my temper!" Kate shouted. She clearly remembered that when Anna hit her, Amy just stood by and cheered her on. The fact that she was pretending to care made Kate furious.

When Amy saw her getting angry, she laughed to herself and tried to aggravate Kate further, "Lady Kate, I hope you will recover soon. You know, after you came to the hospital, Anna told Lord Joseph that you killed Alan. She asked him to seek justice for her."

Kate felt nearly choked when she heard it.

"Lord Joseph promised her that he would find out the truth and told her not to be so sad…" Amy said all she wanted to say. Then she put her hand to her mouth, "Sorry, Lady Kate, I forgot that you shouldn't be getting upset. Don't be angry."

Kate always believed that Amy lied, yet at that moment, she chose to believe her. It sounded exactly like what Joseph would do. After all, he married her just to seek revenge for Anna.  She clutched the sheet tightly and cursed, "Joseph, you are so insincere!"

Since Amy achieved what she wanted to do, she began to act innocent again, "Lady Kate, Lord Joseph does care about you, though. Otherwise, he would not have asked me not to tell you…"

"Not to tell me what?" Kate snapped.

"No, I cannot tell you. If I do, Lord Joseph will fire me. And he is still investigating whether or not you had an affair. So, I shouldn't talk nonsense…" Amy smirked then pointed at the soup, "Lady Kate, you should have some soup so that you can get better!"

He suspects that I was having an affair with other men? How ridiculous! Did he think he could divorce me easily? He wishes! Kate thought to herself.

"Lady Kate…"

"Get out!"

Kate did not want to hear anything more about Joseph. She did not want to be hurt anymore.

"You…you must remember to eat the soup! I will not disturb you again," Amy said with fake sympathy.

"Kate, you've already had dinner?" Lisa asked when she walked into the room and saw the soup bowl, "Who brought it to you?"
